Not strictly the right forum, but at least it's geographically appropriate...

I have a MY00 UK turbo coming up for it's 45,000 mile service. Anyone know of anywhere around Bournemouth/Winchester who would do a good job?

Would prefer a main dealer for FSSH but would consider a good independent.

Also - I know this is the cambelt biggie - what's the damage likely to be?

Cheers,

Mark.

Try North Motor Company 01962 771331
They are located on the A272 about 7 Miles from Winchester
They are a small independant dealer who specialise in Subaru, Isuzu & Saab.
Its run by 2 brothers who were formerly the Mechanics with Crossroads Garage prior to the new owner taking over & them loosing the Subaru Franchise.
They serviced my STI for a couple of years. The service was always 100% & the bills were reosnable. Be warned they have a good reputation locally & therefore you need to book early or be disapointed

Sparshatts are crap IMHO. The Dorset Subaru dealer converted toporsche and hasn't been replaced. When I had my MY99 I used Triton Motorsport at hurn Airport. They are a rally specailist and know their stuff. VERY well priced too, my 45k service was near half of dealer price. They do a number of Evo's / Impreza's.

Other than that its a trip to Vale motors who are good. Theres a list of dealers on the Subaru homepage.

dont think youll get any change from 400 quid, Mill Lane in Basingstoke will get my business, and many other peoples from Southampton area get SIDC membership, then thats 10% off to start with

Don't use Hughes on Ashley Rd, bunch of winkers!

Chappelgate were not high on my xmas card list either.

Go further a field and try Barretts in Canterbury or Roger Clarks in Leicester, both nice places to visit too.

Heard good things about Triton, went and had a look out there but have not yet used them. Which reminds me the old boat is due some new goo.
